Yup looks like a 180 to me 
Maybe just needs some TLC, and a good old service!

Ive had mine about a month and its great to drive. You will always get folk slagging a car off for some reason - I got it over Peugeot always getting electrical faults
Think if you dont drive it like you stole it then it should last you a while and be reasonably economical. Jeremy Clarkson liked it!
On Thursday I drove it round the Top Gear track and it was simply staggering. I’m loathe to use the word perfect but the combined effect of variable assistance power steering, dual-rate springs, sharp dampers and truly magnificent front seats that nail you in place is that you can absolutely fly.

I rememeber this review, absolutely love it.. If you read this OP you will get rid of all the doubt in your mind... he did what all people do with the car; slagged it off cause its french then when he actually drove it he didnt want to leave it alone!

Just make sure the cambelt has been changed, with the year of the car it should have been done a couple of years ago. If there's no service history showing it's been done i'd save up and get it done asap to be on the safe side.

After having driven it for most of the night last night I love it :L It's so responsive, really quick in every gear basically and with the seats I'm in pure comfort! it looks really nice compared to my other car too, with angel eyes, some rear lights (don't know what they are) and the SP grill and all
How much is the cambelt to fix/change?
and not sure on the damage, the guy I bought it from said repairs were done elsewhere so he couldn't tell me anything
does it matter about it having been in a crash? I mean I can't see anything at all, no scratches, dents or anything, just one panel by he door is a TINY bit out of place haha
